Renting To Own It
Fla. Stat. 559.9235 — reinstatement within 60 days, for a fee of not more than $5
The right. A lessee who fails to make timely payments has the right to reinstate the original agreement, without losing rights or options previously acquired, if the lessee promptly surrenders the property on request and tenders the reinstatement fees within 60 days after the end of the last rental period paid on time.
What it costs. Before reinstating, the lessor may require unpaid rental payments, including any renewal charges, a reinstatement fee of not more than $5, and a delivery charge if redelivery is necessary.
The same goods, or as good. On reinstatement the lessor provides the same property or substitute property of comparable quality and condition, with new disclosures for a substitute.
The disclosures the agreement must carry, and the remedies for a violation, are set out in other sections that are not on this page. Whether a particular agreement can still be reinstated is a question for a licensed Florida attorney.
